无论是在繁华的都市还是人烟稀少的乡村,邮局是人们与外界沟通联络的重要途径,更是社会不可缺少的一项公共服务。然而,近来由于经济不景气,美国邮政局出现财政赤字,为了节省开支,纽约市的14家邮局正面临着关闭的命运,这一改变引起当地民众和官员的强烈不满,呼吁当局应三思而后行。 Whether it is in the bustling city or sparsely populated villages, the post office is an important way for people to communicate with the outside world. It is also an indispensable social service for the public. However, due to the recent economic downturn, the United States Post Office has a budget deficit. In order to save money, the 14 post offices in New York City are facing the fate of closure. This change has aroused strong dissatisfaction among local people and officials and urged the authorities to think twice before proceeding.
